Chapter 262 Leading to the truth

Gawain’s questions came one after another, and after several “whys” were thrown down in succession, Hetty felt that the excitement and joy she had just felt had even cooled down a lot - she had been beaten down not long ago. She also thought that she had come into contact with an area in the magical world that no one had ever set foot in before, and had mastered new knowledge that she had never imagined in the past. However, after Gawain finished asking "why", she realized that she couldn't figure it out. There are more things.

Not only did he not reveal any truth about the world, but he became more deeply aware of his ignorance of the truth.

Even though this is not the first time Gawain has thrown out a series of "whys", Hetty still feels full of pressure.

But there was no look of loss on the face of Kamel next to him - because he had no look at all - the ancient magister fell into deep thought after hearing Gawain's question. All these questions were echoing in his mind, and he suddenly felt a passion that had lasted for hundreds of years overflowing from his heart. He thought of a long, long time ago, when he was a magic apprentice, and what his mentor once said when he first learned that there were so many mysteries in this world:

Human beings always move from the unknown to the known, and then from the known to another unknown. As long as you can still have new confusions about the world in your mind, your progress will never stop.

Kamel did not expect that it would be such a knight lord who would give him a new impetus in the world of magic. He sincerely sighed: "Lord, your pursuit of the truth has made me proud. People admire it, and it even surpasses many conventional magic researchers."

"I'm just very curious and can't help but think about a lot of things," Gawain smiled and shook his head, looking at the room. The magic obelisk in the center, "A long time ago, I had this question - what exactly is the 'magic' that pervades the entire world? Why are only a small number of humans able to naturally sense magic? What is magic? How does it affect all things? I once wanted to find the answer from ancient historical books, but found nothing... People seem to be obsessed with the one-sided use of magic, but few people consider its essence..."< /p>

Kamel sighed: "I believe that there have always been people who have raised this issue in the long history, but unfortunately... our civilization has still not been able to take a critical step in this essential field. One step."

Gawain thought about it, and the appearance of the magic obelisk actually made him have some associations, and this association neatly coincided with some of his conjectures about magic power a long time ago. :

Is magic a kind of "wave"? Or is it something similar in nature to a "wave"? Or is the phenomenon of "magic" itself a kind of fluctuation?

But in this world with weird physical properties, do the ubiquitous "waves" still fully follow the laws that Gawain knows? Pick up a pebble and throw it into the water. The waterThere seems to be no problem with the ripples, but in the magical realm invisible to the naked eye, will everything still operate like the material world?

Even the legendary knight's magic perception ability can only perceive the vague and chaotic magic environment in nature. At this stage, there is no technology that can accurately observe and test magic... However, Kamai Maybe you can?

Thinking of this, he looked at Kamel and Hetty, trying to inspire them: "Have you ever thought about how the magic power spreads when the magic obelisk is running? "'With' what?" Hetty frowned, looking thoughtful, "The transmission of magic requires a medium...but without a medium, what is it?" How did it spread..."

Kamail also fell into thinking: "The ancient communication spell was the first to break through this bottleneck. Information uses magic as a carrier and can reach distant places in an instant, but it The appearance of it was just a product of coincidence. The ancient magicians just discovered it by chance and thought it was very useful. However, until today, no one has figured out the principle of this spell... Those ancient runes The combination has not been improved for thousands of years."

Gawain's heart seemed to light up. He seemed to see the mystery of magic revealed in the ancient communication spell and the current magic obelisk. The glimmer of hope in the Veil also saw some hope of solving the communication problem: "Although the actual effects are different, they all involve the 'out of thin air' spread of magic. I think there is something in common."

Hetty looked down at the "receiving device" in her hand. The small piece of Holm crystal embedded in the center of the receiving device had dimmed as the "transmitter" went out, but her thinking was even more active than before.

What kind of mystery is hidden in this small device?

"Actually, I have a guess," Gawain saw that Kamel and Hetty were both in a state of thinking, and cautiously put forward his own opinion, "Do you know the ripples in the water?"

"Ripples in the water?" Hetty couldn't think of it at the first time, "What does the ripples in the water have to do with magic?"

"The ripples will spread outward!" The arcane radiance on Meier's body brightened for a moment, but then he fell into hesitation and confusion, "Is it such a simple explanation? The magic... caused ripples, so something spread along the ripples? Spread. Is it information...or energy? What is the 'medium' that carries the ripples? The water surface makes waves, but what is there in the empty space...is the magic itself its medium?" >

"Maybe you don't need a medium?" Gawain said tentatively, but then he stopped talking, "I just said it casually, don't be affected by my words."

Gawain didn’t expect Kamel to be so perceptive. He hesitated briefly - it’s not that he didn’t want to say it, but that he knew that the rules of this world were very different from the earth he knew. , he was worried that after he proposed a nearly complete set of theories based on earth experience, he would mislead local researchers and lead them astray. However, Kamel’s words made him determined: real researchers must be able to Make bold assumptions and verify carefully.

As long as he emphasizes that everything he says is speculation and does not interfere with Hetty or Kamel's research ideas, then there is nothing to worry about.

So he roughly stated the concepts of waves and fields - he deliberately made his descriptions simple and straightforward, on the one hand for ease of understanding, and on the other hand to make the knowledge more like his I figured it out by myself, which will make it appear more real.

"To be honest, these are my guesses based on my daily experience and my superficial understanding of magical phenomena," Gawain said after finishing speaking. He specifically emphasized, "But I think that is the case with the pursuit of knowledge and truth, especially in areas that we cannot observe intuitively. All we can do is to assume the unknown based on the known, boldly assume - and then seek confirmation or proof." Fake. "

"Assume...and then verify it..." Kamel pondered, "We did the same thing back then. "

Gawain smiled slightly, and his heart twitched slightly: This B failed to pretend...

But Kamel then said: "But I can be as profound as you are. Not many people understand it, especially you, a knight lord with a background as a warrior, can actually have this kind of awareness on the path of exploring the truth. This is already more than many mediocre so-called 'scholars'. "

Just as Gawain was about to speak, Heti reminded Kamel with a serious face next to him: "Master Kamel, a knight is better than a wizard..."

Gawain broke into a cold sweat as soon as Hetty said the first few words, and before the other party could finish speaking, he coughed hard: "Ahem! Curiosity is human instinct. As long as the motivation for exploration is stimulated, there is no difference between a knight and a mage. "

Camel was actually quite curious about what Hetty wanted to say, but the low pressure escaping from Gawain made him immediately choose to ignore this question and nodded seriously: "I I definitely didn't agree with this sentence before, but now I have to agree with you. ”

Gawain did not continue to extend the topic - he had already mentioned enough points. I believe that with Kamel’s intelligence, he only needs to find one or two breakthrough points, plus his own "Innate ability" will definitely make a way in the essential field of magic, but continuing to instill knowledge will only constrain or affect the thinking of this ancient scholar.

Kamael carries magic power. The transmitter and receiver of the obeliskDuan has left. This ancient master can't wait to devote himself to a new round of research. He has rediscovered his own direction in this strange new era, but before that, he first needs to obtain relevant technical information. Handed over to Mr. Nicholas Egg of the Mechanical Research Institute, so that the results at the current stage can be converted into practical technologies that can be used in the territory as soon as possible.

There are indeed too few talents in the territory. If there are a few apprentices as assistants, the apprentices can be sent to run errands, and he can save time in the laboratory - Kamel uses plastic The Hand of Ability floated rapidly along with the "prototype machine" while thinking about how to increase the number of magicians on this land.

Hetty stayed in Gawain's office. This elegant lady stood quietly beside Gawain's desk and said softly: "Ancestor, actually I think your ancestral precepts are quite... ”

Elegance is fake, but gradually thinking that Rebecca is real.

"Don't keep spreading the nonsense you said after you got high." Gao Wen felt a headache when he heard this. He felt that he had to find time to correct his two granddaughters' three views, "I let Did you find out what you were investigating?”

“It was as you expected—a considerable number of the refugees who arrived in the territory after the first snow fell were identified. There are doubts, and these people with doubtful identities come from almost all places in the Southern Territory except Leslie Territory and Kant Territory."
